Boredoms playing on 9/9/09

Don't get too excited by the headline, folks; this actually sounds like bad news. I was disappointed when the line to The Boredoms was insanely long on 7/7/07, and when they just weren't slated to play the NYC show with 88 drummers on 8/8/08, yet it was still sort of billed a Boredoms show (the tradition was kept alive properly in Los Angeles). Now it looks like the 9/9/09 show may top the crappiness of the previous two experiences.

Okay, okay, I know, I know. I shouldn't be a naysayer before details are announced. I guess the first question to ask is if 99 drummers could FIT in Terminal 5. Maybe not on stage, but when have The Boredoms stuck to the traditional stage? Could they get creative? Use the multiple floors to their advantage? Who knows?

There's also talk of their only being 9 drummers. Doesn't that feel like a bit 'meh' at this point? I mean, not only does that seem to break a pattern, but didn't China have 2008 drummers for the Olympic ceremonies (also on 8/8/08). Time for The Boredoms to step it up.
